    Black countries, in general, seriously lag behind white countries. There is no way around that fact. Black people have to step up to the plate.

    Pretty much.

    THere are over 220 Countries in the world. A krackers always want to highlight the 4 black governments in shambles (BECAUSE OF KRACKER IMPERIALISM AND INTERFERENCE).

    There are plenty of black run government doing just fine according to a lot of Africans I've spoken to. They just dont have large militaries and ? like the US does. Mostly cuz they dont get in as much ? and dont steal from other people.

    Thats exactly why these peckawoods are always geared up for war. They are scared that the day will come when the people of the world will make them pay for the things they did to them.

    Indeed. Black unity will truly equal black power. Blacks would rule the world if they took control of the richest continent on the planet.

    The race doesn't matter. I'd rather live in the country whose government has the least corruption. We've seen that both whites and blacks are throughly capable of being ? leaders.

    Also SMH @ these people acting like African countries are bad off solely because of bad black leadership and not because the western world conspired against them. Come on people, European and American blights on Africa are documented.

    Most black-run nations have only gained independence in the last thirty to forty years. Thirty to forty years after having been taken advantage of by colonial powers these nations were called to forge nation-states when they lacked the educational and monetary resources. The transition was not smooth because you had the Russians and the Americans funding rival factions, former colonial powers interfering, tribal hatred fomented by colonial favourtism, and massive debts incurred because of the former colonial powers, corrupt dictators placed by Americans or Communists, and the borrowing during the 1973 oil crisis.

    All of this considered, I think black-run nations have done remarkably well.

    Don't forget colonialism lasted just long enough to displace the original means of governance that had worked in the area for centuries. So when colonialism ended, the people whose job it was to take over had no real knowledge of the old ways and no understanding of the new ways given that their oppressors didn't educate them.

    Very important point as well, thanks.
